Frustrated

So last Wednesday I had an appointment with the superintendent and the middle school principal (my absolute biggest fan and advocate) to set up my student teaching/job for next year, Fall of 08. But they both got sick and it was rescheduled for today. Then today they both went home sick again, and it has been rescheduled for next Wed!!! Ugh!!!! I keep psyching myself up for nothing. For those of you who don't know, because of the dire circumstances of music in SE Idaho, a student can be hired on as a school teacher and be paid, and count it as student teaching. So I am supposed to be setting that up right now, and I am getting tired of it being put off. I hate not knowing what is happening in my future. I went back to school because Heavenly Father told me to, but because of my lack of faith, I am continually worried about next year. Darin is not worried at all, and says I went back to school because we felt good about it, and that we don't know what the reason is, and that that is okay. Usually, our roles are reversed. It's a bit strange for Darin to have more blind faith than me. Oh well. I plan on getting batteries for my camera today, and then I can post some more picks. I think I don't have the energy this year to put up all of my decorations this year. I am just too tired. I can't believe after Dec. I will only be half done! I will survive. I am having a committee meeting next week to pick out books for my book club for next year. Anybody have any must read suggestions? I am really excited for the committee. Last year everyone got to pick one book to read. I wasn't satisfied with those results. This year a committee was nominated, myself and two other people. We will be picking out all of the books. Des (my good friend), thinks I'll get my way on everything with the committee : ) For those of you who think I am crazy for continuing to be involved with the bookclub while in school, it is one of those things that keeps me sane. I have to have fun in this life. Book club is fun for me. It gets boring to only read things you have to read, or to never see your friends. It is only once a month. And that brings me to an important point--having fun is important. I have friends who claim to not have any time for fun, that it would stress them out. Well in my opinion, these same people are stressed out no matter what they do, and I think a little fun might lighten their load. What do you think? Is it necassary to carve out personal fun time, or do some people really truly not need it? This has been weighing my mind lately. I just wish more women could be happy. Is that such a bad thing?

Enchanted

Mom took us to the movie today. We saw Enchanted. It was so fun. I thought it would be cheesy, but I laughed and laughed. It was hilarious. Mom, Danielle, and the girls liked it as well.

Thanksgiving

Hi everyone. I am learning to blog again. Will it work this time?! Mom and Dad, and Clay and Danielle are hear. Tara (my sister in law) will be coming soon. I haven't had school all week and it has been wonderful. I am so ready to be done. Finish your schooling before you have babies! Of course I thought that I did. Oh well. I thought I would be done with the school part in May. But it is ending up that I will have to go to school this summer as well. Then student teaching in Fall of 08. That is what I am excited about. My adviser wants me to go to the superintendent with a resume and just apply for a job. So Darin and I have been working on my resume. I can't believe I even have a resume. It doesn't look half bad.
